    I was just wondering if they are going to do away with the idea that you leave your influence/infamy behind when you switch. I mean as it stands with her announcement you can just store it in the market or email it to yourself across factions any way.
  2. It's creating a seismic shift in my game approach. I had been all about clearing out and heading to blue sobbing softly over the loss of my three favorite parts of red side: Mayhems, Patrons (yes really) and Television.

    Add to the fact that we will be able to trade and email across factions I feel like I was caught in an explosion. This must be what a true headasplode feels like.

    I've won a great many fights over the years in this game. This one is particularly sweet. All of us who've been fighting for this should rejoice. But I'm going one further. I'm going to be on the lookout for these imagined "negative consequences" we've been told about for three years. I doubt I'll find them, and if I don't I'm going to post the biggest "I told you so." I ever have!
    I must tip my hat to you for your continuing on in the fight. I lost hope 18-24 months ago.

    Good for the long run, but bad for me in the short
    Yeah, I never thought it would happen. I gave up years ago in trying to point out how silly it was. And to trade and gleemail too? Unbelievable.

    Also, YES!
    Well part 1 of my plan is now dead, THANK YOU DEVS!

    What was part 1? Prepping all my villains to go good. *gag*

    Now, which of my heroes am I bringing over to the proper game...

    I am feeling faint. Help.

    Market Merger

    Probably best in the Market forum for the people who really care.

    Personally I am walking down to our ER here at the hospital because I am assuming I just had an embolism or anuerism or something. (I'm a computer guy not a med guy so I don't know, maybe it was a stroke.)

    I was shocked when I stumbled across it late one night that I had never heard of it or seen it before because it was pretty cool.

    First off, I was blown away by the new changes and fixes to the game. Second, I realized I want to be apart of the community again, so I was wondering if there is any way to be re-activated by a friend for free time (time cards are hard to come by where I live, and I would only want to use my credit card when neccessary).

    Well thanks for reading, glad to be joining this best MMO again! (:
    Sorry, I had to fix your last line.

    Because it is a boxed expansion so discs, goodies and the boxes need to be made and shipped to retailers with a planned release date. Also they must believe they will make the date.
  11. I find it odd that while I wasn't all that nuts over not being in closed beta yet I am more excited about the release date announcement than if I had gotten an invite this week.

    Of course I still need to figure out what I am going to do first on August 17.
  12. So it's not the Spanish Inquisition then.

    As to good standing, let me suggest that if you've ever been caught exploiting or seriously violated a NDA, your account might not be in good standing. I can't provide an exhaustive list, but the vast majority of people don't have to worry.
    Still not locked, sir.

    And release date of Aug. 17 has been announced.
  14. I never skip Grandville or the Patron arcs.

    I enjoy the patrons' concept though the implementation is a bit annoying.
  15. I prefer 32 so I can use them for full benefit at level 29, the upper limit in Ouroboros for the 25-29 arcs.

    [edit] and so I can roll in 35-39 range also.
  16. I have to admit I don't even worry about influence/infamy any more.

    Between MA tickets and the easy availability of so many merits the opportunities are overwhelming. Plus the email of inf now.

    I enjoy threads like this because of the effort others are willing to make to do these things including screenshots and posting about it. I am far too lazy to bother trying to show how easy it is anymore.

    Just Virtue for me but even in an empty market. It was much better the last few days though.
  18. I was seeing an unusual delay in mission/base loading on Champion, Freedom, Triumph and Virtue this weekend.

    I am glad it is not just my machine.

    I don't know. I will sell him "one" for 30 million.

    All the "I'm not in closed beta yet so ..." posters are simply ignoring all available information and aren't worth the time of day.
  21. Simply put, ED applies to enhancements.

    So even if you had that money which serves no other purpose in the game you wouldn't pay to get them?

    I probably spent 1.5B "purpling" and "LotGing" my warshade over most of the last year which I made by selling all the drops I got I didn't want and random rolling the merits I was earning.

    I don't consider it a bad tradeoff.
  23. Thank goodness we have another one of these threads. The last one was starting to drop off page one in the Going Rogue forum.
